Dungeons and Time Clocks; Choice 3 Team 3 Event Topic

People. People are so weird. The group continued onward, Marceline and Vlad continuing to bicker and shift and display their peculiar powers to their very extent, just to prove their points. The beast watched curiously, putting on the typical 'good dog' persona to the group, but contemplating what exactly they were thinking, doing, planning to do. That being said, the group went for a staircase (But Marceline seemed to stray off more on her own), now sticking more within Mythica's space now that he had been complimented, his ego got the better of him and he stuck close to her with the hope of more praise, which whether he received more or not may not ever be revealed.

While Nidhogg wasn't giving everything his undivided attention, one of the most notable members of the group, Marceline, had fallen victim to this trap-filled building, unsurprisingly. Nidhogg trusted his intuition to stay near the back of the group, so that he wouldn't likely be the first to fall prey to these traps as opposed to the enthusiastic bunch in the front. But what had happened next seemed to create panic within Vlad, seeing him rush to Marceline's side to aid her with whatever she needed at the time, as did the other men of the group. Nidhogg was not too surprised about the green haired man's obedience and submission to Marceline (whether he was aware of it or not), as her well being clearly effected his reactions and actions. Quite pathetic, Nidhogg lost interest in someone so submissive.

But what shocked Nidhogg was Vlad's reaction. He made a consistent effort to reassure the safety of Marceline, even patting her back to relax any sort of nerve or shock she may experience. But that made little sense. A man that seemed so against her character now risking his own to aid her, that was Nidhogg's perspective of it. And it made little sense. For a group of mages he envied for their independence, they made such an effort to secure her well being. Why was that? Nidhogg watched silently with his red and black eyes, waiting until everyone was on their feet before calmly leaping down to their ground level. Everyone had been settled and moved onward, as did Nidhogg.

Soon arriving at a somewhat new area, the stench of beasts introduced itself. And instantly afterwards came a grouping of hounds, which posed no threat, but Nidhogg was curious of the other's actions more than himself.

"I apologize that you had to be saved by that thing." Said Raiza, and how this had puzzled him. What was this aside of his? What was his prejudice against Vlad? Why keep it hidden? It wasn't as puzzling as his ability to acknowledge his sympathy. How odd, and how sad that he was burdened with that sympathetic nature. Nidhogg paid no mind to him.

But then quickly and effortlessly, a beast was slaughtered by the green haired man. Although having no intention to fight, Nidhogg returned to his hidden state, of which he had magical capacity. a puzzled expression hid behind the mask, looking at the man and his distress with the quality of the meal. Nidhogg groaned and crossed his arms behind his back, "They say you are what you eat. After looking at these submissive dummies, perhaps the saying is true, green man."
